Description |
I believe that this sort of design format for the flag should be adopted (but in more quality of course). The symbolism of it starts at the beehive in the middle of the flag because we are often referred to as the "beehive state" so it fits. The background color is similar to one of the best-voted colors for the flag so I believe that's why it should be used. The two mountains in-between the border of the flag and the beehive represent our amazing mountains that we're lucky to have here in Utah(It might also be good to add some snow on top of them because we get snow here in the winter). And finally, the golden spike above the beehive represents that the golden spike was nailed in Utah. (The spike probably should have more of a golden color than what is on my submission though) That's all I have for symbolism for the flag but thanks for taking the time to review my submission. |
